January

2020

Texas is known around the world as a

leading producer of oil, but this booming

industry did not exist until January 10,

1901, when the black gold was struck

at Spindletop in Beaumont. Spindletop

Hill was a small hill of earth pushed

upward by an underground dome of salt.

Self-taught geologist Patillo Higgins

suspected that oil might be hidden

somewhere under Spindletop. The area

was known for its sulfur springs and

seeps of gas that could be lit on fire.

Higgins convinced engineer Anthony

Lucas to finance a drilling operation at

Spindletop, but they soon ran out of

money. Lucas, unwilling to give up on

find came to be known, was shooting

off 100,000 barrels of oil a day,

more than all the other oil wells in

America. After nine days, the gusher was

finally brought under control.

Beaumont suddenly grew from a sleepy

Gulf-Coast backwater into a Texas

boomtown. Its population tripled in a

mere three months. New oil companies

formed and searched for new wells.

Refineries sprang up all over the Gulf

Coast. In its first year, Spindletop

produced 3.5 million barrels of oil. In

its second year, it produced

17.4 million. John D. Rockefeller’s

Standard Oil, which had previously held a

monopoly in the petroleum industry,

was crushed by new Texas-based

competitors like Texaco and Gulf Oil.

By World War I, production at

Spindletop had mostly ceased. Texas,

however, had changed forever, and the

Texas oil boom became the engine that

propelled the growth of America.

top, using discipline and common

sense to find fame, prestige, and

wealth. Those born between January

20–31 are the Water Bearers of

Aquarius. As the water of life heals the

land, so Aquarians are the

humanitarians of the zodiac,

compassionate free spirits who

empower others.
